Jessica Springsteen at the Hampton Classic with R. Scot Evans VVH-TV

[bruciewollie1]

nice kid..

[ApocalypsePlough]

Her father - you know, that Bruce guy - was going to buy her a million dollar horse named Pavarotti, but the deal didn't go through. How can other equestrians compete against a girl whose father's estimated worth is in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and can drop a million bucks for a horse at the drop of a hat? They can't.

I do applaud her, though, for not winding up a criminal or drug addict like the sons and daughters of so many rock stars. Bruce and Patty are doing something right.

@ApocalypsePlough

I completely agree. Though, if you have a decent Warmblood and your a soft and effective rider then you may have a shot. :3

[poodleguru]

not much credit for the horse....in fact.....none

[WhittyD34]

Theyre looking very deep into each others souls hahahahaha

[iLoveRileyy]

Yes she is an amazing rider, but if I had all that money I could probably be just as good. She has the money to hire the top trainers, buy top horses, and show all around the world. Obviously she works hard to be a good rider, but it's easier to be the best you can be when you're learning from world-class trainers and riding horses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Let's face it, this sport is all about money, and it's hard to get anywhere without it.

[twowaystreet101]

This has always been a sport for those with money. Purchasing and owning a horse is costly. Competing is costly. Just because someone has money does not make them any less serious about the sport they have chosen. EVERY person competing in this sport has money. Nobody got into this sport, and succeeded, through determination and drive, alone. For those who think otherwise, you’re fooling yourself. It an expensive sport, and from what I can see, JS is not wasting her time or her money.

[wh0reship]

A lot of riders are jealous that she is competing, winning and riding a horse worth well over 100k. But think about it. She was given it all. She didn't have to work for any of it and develop that deep rooted passion and drive. She didn't have to work her way up. So really in all of this she's the one at the disadvantage. You never see someone who is spoon fed gold medals change a sport.

[eventer176]

wow she keeps her upper body so still. great ride.

[SHOJMPR42]

This young lady could have chosen any sport. She is a good kid and works very hard in her training.

[PrizeMaker]

I show in the jumper world and showed EQ a LONG time ago. Jessica seems like a really nice girl and a good rider. BUT i will say that MONEY has A LOT to do with it. if i had the quarter million dollar horse and all the money to show around the country and world....i could be there too. YES you have to be able to ride well, but money is really the main thing....

[lkwhostalkinggx3]

@PrizeMaker amen to that!

[asdflkjhaklsjfjkasdf]

jessica is an awsome rider. her dad has nothing to do with her sucess. the only thing he has to do wih this is giving her support. they interview everyone that they can get there hands on its random. trust me ik!

[HunterJumper23100]

Is this EQ or jumpers?

[Tommylvr100]

@HunterJumper23100 I hope this is jumpers or hunters cause she has HORRIBLE equ its just her 50,000 dollar horse that is doing everything!

[dknowles24]

@Tommylvr100 i dont see u winning the maclay

[likekthanksbyyee]

@Tommylvr100 her horse probably cost more than that. but it's an eq class and she so doesnt have horrible eq, get real!

[love2love134]

@Tommylvr100 Im sure her horse is about 300,000k. And her equitation is beautiful.. Im pretty sure you havn't won Maclay Finals, and until then i dont think you can say whether or not she has good eq..

[mokhashin]

@Tommylvr100 Sure she didn't have to practice months and months in advance. Sure she doesn't have any talent, she is actually horrible, the horse works like a car once you start it, the rider doesn't matter, right?

[havetogojump]

@mokhashin ur dumb the rider does matter if the rider is good and she has talent and she has to practice u gotta help the horse and every thing

[iJumphorseys]

Someday i wish to ride like her(:

[negativenina]

She is so elegant and so graceful. I really hope she makes it into the Olympics.

[bbdf609]

Her father is just a normal "horse dad" at the shows. He is very cool and even waits in line like everybody else at the hot truck. Actually, he is much nicer than most of the other parents all vying for social position in the hunter/jumper scene. 

[TheLovebug523]

i wonder how awkward the guy that has to wear the red coat and the top hat feels. :p

[evilpony642]

[habyss]

Nice of the interviewer not to hit her up for concert tickets.

[ponygal11]

[KleWdSide]

She has Patti's bones, but Bruce's color.

[box5og]
